SOUNDBITE: (English) Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool head coach:

(On signing Mario Balotelli)

"I think the market to get someone in of the quality and the deal for us was very good. He's a world class talent and it was an area that we needed to strengthen. So it's a calculated risk for us, but we feel it is one we feel can bring him and hopefully improve him as a player and help him mature as a young man. There's no doubting his footballing talent and as you see tonight it's something that I think he can do very well for us."
